1 3 rd HRI International Homeopathy Research Conference 9-11 June 2017

2 Welcome to the 3 rd International Homeopathy Research Conference, hosted by the Homeopathy Research Institute (HRI). Following the success of our previous conferences in Barcelona and Rome, we are looking forward to doing it all over again, this time on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Malta. Conference Overview Interest in homeopathy research has grown dramatically over recent years, both within the homeopathic profession and externally. This reflects the ever-increasing emphasis being placed on evidence informed medicine across all modalities and the crucial role rigorous research is now playing in the development of homeopathy. The HRI Conference is a rarity; usually homeopathy research sessions are embedded within events covering homeopathy as a whole, or conferences covering multiple CAM modalities. The HRI is proud to be hosting another two and a half day event dedicated solely to homeopathy research, providing a unique forum for the sharing of ideas and the creation of international scientific collaborations. HRI conferences, held every two years, are the highlight of the homeopathy research calendar. We bring together world experts in all areas of homeopathy research, from in-vitro work to provings, to share their latest findings. These events provide a rare opportunity for those involved in homeopathy around the world whether as active researchers, academics, practitioners or students to meet, exchange ideas and discover what s new in this rapidly developing field. Conference objectives HRI conferences have one ongoing theme Cutting Edge Research in Homeopathy demonstrating our commitment to showcase the very best new research, regardless of subfield or topic. This approach allows us to create a diverse programme, including topics such as: Programme Highlights We are delighted to announce our confirmed Keynote Speakers for HRI Malta 2017, all of whom are inspirational, extensively published leaders in their fields: Dr Stephan Baumgartner Senior Research Scientist, Institute of Integrative Medicine, University of Witten- Herdecke, Germany Prof Michael Frass Professor, Department of Medicine, Medical University of Vienna, Austria Dr Emma Macías-Cortés Consultant Physician and Researcher, Juarez of Mexico Hospital and National Homeopathic Hospital, Mexico City Prof Harald Walach Director, Postgraduate program, European University Viadrina, Frankfurt, Germany Submission of abstracts We welcome abstracts from researchers, graduate students, research trainees, homeopathy practitioners and educators.
